Naming Of University Trustees May Set Off Hassle In Senate

The first fight of the current state legislative session may revolve around university trustees and Senate confirmation. Three terms expire this year and despite the board being self perpetuating, all new or returning trustees must face the Senate. A move to suspend rules to take up the resolution on the floor failed when Stoughton Lamberth insisted it go to committee. John A. Caddell, a Decatur attorney and board member, says committee consideration aligns with administration policy and should not block appointments. If the Senate disagrees, it can name its own replacements. Caddell notes his own confirmation last year proceeded as these will. If the list is held in committee, a petition will force it back to the floor. The reassignment list includes Gessner T. McCorvey, Brewer Dixon, and Thomas Lawson.
